Marans or Plymouth Rock?

[jennhalcyon]

Hi again! Here's another cutie that I'm hoping you all can help out with. Hubby got this at TSC and said it was Plymouth Rock. Not too sure though as the wings don't look barred.

We absolutely adore this little one...so friendly that it jumps right onto my hand anytime I go near it.

And any indication on sex? I know it's early but hoping it's a pullet!

The white spot on the back of the head indicates the presence of the barring gene. The barring will become more clear as the feathers grow in. Looks like a pullet for now.

Here are a few more pics. I guess it's those large white feather shirts that are making me curious.

I think Plymouth Rocks would be brown.
I have them and it looks more like a Marans.

Good night!
Good Luck!

Barred Rocks are not brown.

The Barred Rock chick in front of the feeder had white primaries, like your chick.

Sorry!

I was thinking Partridge Plymouth rock, when jennhalcyon
said "Plymouth" I got confused.
